Glue the face of the panel and the leather all at one time, let it dry, put the two pieces together and get it smooth. Then turn the panel over and glue the backside edges. Leave about 2 to 3 inches of material for the backside so you have some leverage to pull with. If you're using real leather, getting wrinkle free round corners will be no problem, the leather should be very stretchy. If it's not, you can cut "V" notches ( like the points of a star)so that the fabric doesn't overlap. Another choice would be to staple it down instead of gluing it. I assume it's 1/4" luan, so using 1/4" staples would work also, that's up to you. Good luck.
